Common Questions About Emergency
What if there's no isolation valve?
We turn off at the mains stopcock. Then we can add an isolation valve for next time while we're there.
My fence blew into the neighbour's garden - help?
We'll retrieve it if possible, assess whether it's reusable, and repair or replace as needed. Accidents happen in storms.
What about the glass on the floor?
We carefully collect and dispose of broken glass as part of the job. Your property is left safe.
Can't you just turn it off?
Isolation valves seize up, stopcocks get stuck, or people don't know where they are. We find them, free them if stuck, and stop the water.
Should I wait for the insurance assessor?
Take photos first, then make safe. Insurers expect you to prevent further damage - that's why they cover emergency repairs. Document everything before touching it.
Can you come same day?
Usually yes - broken windows are urgent. We prioritise these jobs because an unsecured window is a security risk.
